You wrote: "Another was a film with Peter o Tool where also the
uboat men had machineguned the survivors, and had landed
the coast to kill the captain who was wounded."

The movie you must be referring to is "MURPHY'S WAR" with
Peter O'Toole - filmed 1969-1970 in the Amazon River near Venezuela. Peter O'Toole was just an Irish seaman, not the captain of the torpedoed british merchantman.

The "U-boat" used in the film was the former USS TILEFISH (SS-307) which was sold to the Venezuelan government on 12/1/60, after 17 years service to her country. It was known as the ARV Carite, in the Venezuelan Navy, and was decommissioned on
1/28/77.

If you think that looked like a German U-boat...........

You also wrote: "Last but not least the U-575 movie where there
was also a similar scene."

There never was a movie titled U-575..........How about "U-571"?

Regards,
